Truly a testament to the dysfunctionality of computer user interface design - we don't have dedicated keys for copy/paste. "yes you have to press two keys at the same time for the far most common actions"
@suihkulokki ah good!
I recently bought an 8bitdo keyboard which comes with a pair of large “Mashable” programmable buttons. I mapped them to shift+ctrl+c and v, which works in my terminal and several apps which want ctrl+c and ignore the extra shift. They are surprisingly handy! Sadly Firefox didn’t.

@suihkulokki I hoped the article was about consolidating different clipboards on Linux :(
@suihkulokki I always found it odd that we still think in terms of keycodes. KDE and GNOME have abstractions so that application expose high level actions. Sadly the two solutions are incompatible, not supported by other DEs and not supported by TUI/CLI tools.

What I found most 'interesting' in this article is that you don't need to reprogram your keyboard to send out a copy or paste key code. You can just use xmodmap or similar to reprogram your keys, no difference in your hardware required!
